Hiking the W Trek in Patagonia

As temperatures rise and spring adventure approaches, Scott Wurtzbacher joins the Carolina Outdoors to share about his most recent trip to the W Trek in Patagonia. Host of the Inspire Campfire podcast and author of Campfire Within, Scott discusses weather, packing, gear, and more.

What to Know:

  • Scott and his daughter traveled to Patagonia in December to hike the Chilean Andes.
  • The W Trek is a hiking trail in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile, named for its winding “W” shape through the valleys of the mountains.
  • Scott met fellow hikers from 26 different countries on his adventure. He emphasizes how you build relationships with others on adventures like his, and how the outdoors connects people.
  • Gear is important, especially when hiking in elements like those in the W Trek. There were extreme weather changes, but being well-outfitted made the trip more enjoyable.
